dividend payment
Investor profit share
A dividend payment is the distribution of a portion of a company's profits to its shareholders.
Companies typically make these payments quarterly, though some pay annually or on other schedules.
The amount depends on how many shares you own: My dividend payment came to about two hundred dollars this quarter.
Not all companies issue dividends—many reinvest profits instead.
